I always remind myself that the value of bitcoin may increase tenfold in the years to come every time I get tempted to sell out my coins. I'd probably sell it during emergencies too or at times of need and only if I had no other choice; Bitcoin would be my last resort. As much possible, I would want to hodl all the bitcoins that I have.

Some sell out their bitcoins on a regular basis because they treat earning bitcoins as a sideline or regular income and they use the profit they get from it for regular and daily expenses.

The impact of government regulation may vary and differ depending on how it will turn out. Government regulations may eventually impose taxes because that is their way of generating revenue. This would be negative for the bitcoin users because they'd then have to pay extra for the transactions. A limit on acquiring bitcoins may also be imposed by the government regulations which would be negative for the bitcoin users as well.

This is best way to recover your loss because you surely won't regret by investing in Bitcoin. You'll even have a good night's sleep knowing that the bitcoin you bought would accumulate and increase in value in the following years. Better invest now so you won't have any further regrets.

A reason why don't gamble because of the risk of losing your bitcoin or money. There's a high risk of you to win but at the same time, there's also a high risk of losing that. It's hard to make some guesses and to decide and it's definitely going to be hard for you to sleep if you regret not making some decisions that could have led you to become rich had you made them.

Paypal and Bitcoin are both very different from each other and I agree that it is incomparable at the moment. Perhaps at this current time and period, Bitcoin cannot be accepted as a payment to every single common man, much less to those who are less fortunate. Bitcoin has revolutionized the concept of "internet payments" and PayPal needs to keep up even at this early stage of Bitcoin that is in.

I believe the statement made by the Paypal CEO was made just so that they could keep up with the growing hype and popularity for Bitcoin. Surely, they're scared of getting left out and as a competitive company, they should keep up with the current happenings or else they may be overthrown. It's quite possible that in the near future, Bitcoin will be integrated in PayPal instead of becoming a competitor for them. With the increasing innovations and technological advancements made for cryptocurrency and bitcoin, companies such as PayPal would have to adapt as well.

I agree, I think this would motivate the bitcoin users more. They can have fun and play and at the same time, they would profit from it. I've heard about steam before, that you can buy steam credits with the use of bitcoin but I haven't heard of the perspective of OP. It's a smart concept and these gaming industries will profit a lot. In a way, it's a win-win situation for the users and the gaming industry.

I've always found the google currency conversion for Bitcoin very convenient. I always use it. I can't do the same with other altcoins, and I'd have to access other websites. With the google currency conversion for bitcoin, all I have to do is type it on the search bar and the results would automatically come out. I have not yet read the wikipedia page of Bitcoin because I'm not a fan of wikipedia but I have noticed that bitcoin can be already found in various places all over the web. 

These new API sounds exciting and I think that it would be a good contribution for the bitcoin community and for bitcoin users. The market for bitcoin is continuing to expand and more innovations such as this keep on appearing.

In my opinion, having a house is an important asset. It's important for one to invest on their own property. I find it a waste to rent because you throw away money on something that you won't acquire in the future. Buying a house is long term, something that your children could inherit or even last several generations. Don't go for a mortgage because having a debt is tiresome and renting is like throwing away your money.

Go for it! It will be a good investment.

If this were the case, then I would opt to just declare my assets. After all, this kind of law would be imposed for national security and AML purposes. As of now, most jurisdictions do not specify on particular cases such as this but surely after some diversification, there would be some rulings and regulations imposed. In such an event, I'd rather go through the hassle of declaring all my assets than having to hide it in the fear of getting your BTC taken away from you or having it declared as illegal.

It may be likely for a law like this to be created, especially with the increasing use and popularity of Bitcoin.

As we can see, more and more jurisdictions are now starting to give some recognition for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. It's quite impossible for there to be zero fees because there's no such thing as a "free lunch". Everything comes with a cost and everyone just wants to profit in almost anything. As compared to other financial investments, Bitcoin is the best because the fees and interests offered by other establishments are way too heavy and cost too much that you sometimes just lose your investment in the long run or breakeven.

There may be minimal or limited uses for Bitcoin now, but that's how most great things start. There's no surprise to that because its not yet even known to some people.

You may not see it now, but Bitcoin has and will have a significant role in society. It's just in the process of getting there.

It sounds amazing that a hotel will now accept altcoin as a payment but I believe that only a few number of people would have or use that token, more or less use it to book in a hotel. Only few know about bitcoin or cryptocurrency, and much less would know about the use and existence of tokens. This may provide some convenience for some of the cryptocurrency users and would also give it some spotlight. It's possible for some of the guests in the hotel to have some interest on the token as a payment method and this would lead them to become curious. More and more developments like this and this could only be a beneficial for crypto-users and the public.

I feel excited as Bitcoin is slowly getting more and more recognition. I'm surprised to see some ads all over social media. Just recently, some blogs and news have taken interest in reporting about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. There is an upwards trend for the publicity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Despite not having a bigger position, the thought that we have already invested in Bitcoin back when it is not yet mainstream. Most people are still just being introduced and getting to know about it now while I have already some BTC in my wallet.

I don't have any experience on scams but I have been fervently reading about the different scams out there and its nature so that I may avoid it. True enough, those who have experienced it would have an upperhand because it is said that "experience is the best teacher" however it is not exactly necessary.

I've heard about ponzi schemes, HYIPs and the like that are still present up to this very day and the best way to avoid it is to watch out for the red flags. When there is a low investment with the promise of high return in a short period time, then it is likely to be a scam. Watch out for sugarcoated and fancy promises and don't let them blind you. Most scams don't look as if they are scams at first because they are made to deceive you so always be on the look out and don't let your guard down.

Although I don't use my BTC to spend on daily expenses, I think that this would be convenient for the bitcoin users in South Africa when a day comes that they do not have cash to spare. If this were to be true, then this must mean that there are many bitcoin users in that area for an adoption like this to take place. Other countries have been taking various steps on adoption lately.

I've read somewhere before that an experimental society existed where there was no ruling body or government, everyone lived freely and they were from a bunch of different races. I think it was called 'auroville' and it is located somewhere at India. It was said to be peaceful and everyone there lived equally. It sounded as if it came straight from a dystopian novel. I'm not quite sure if this is true but if it were, I wouldn't choose to live there. Although fiction, endings of dystopian novels don't end nicely. In the end, some sort of rebellion or massacre is bound to happen. Despite the complications of social classes and economic inequality experienced in my country, I'd rather strive to survive in it.

Being able to acquire 10 BTC is amazing, as of this present moment I haven't even acquired 1 BTC. Its value would be hundredfold or more right now had you stored it in a wallet. It's sad to hear that you lost a huge amount of money when you switched to forex. It must have discouraged you but its a good thing that you have resorted to make a comeback in cryptocurrency. Despite only starting now, Bitcoin still has the potential to grow for the coming years. It's not too late to make an investment.

Trading has its risks but its profitable and rewarding. You are bound to lose some money because of these risks but rewards would come with it once you are able to buy and sell at the right time.

If the fees for the use of a Bitcoin ATM were to be too high, then it would defeat its purpose and the bitcoin users would be discouraged to use it. It would have been convenient if it were available in many cities but given the limited number of people in my country who uses Bitcoin, then I don't think that it would be of much use. If Bitcoin were to be mainstream in a certain location, surely a lot of Bitcoin ATMs would be set up.

Yes, so far the Philippines has not made any actions yet to implement or regulate Bitcoin or cryptocurrency except for this public statement made by the central and create licenses for exchanges. Hopefully like the other countries, the Philippines would make other efforts to adopt Bitcoin.

I don't think that rumor about the Rothschild family is true. They may be a rich family, but I don't think they have a hold of the central bank of the Philippines. The economy of the Philippines is not that good, and it could be better had it been in the control of a rich family.

China is pretty much a superpower and it won't make moves or decisions like this for the sake of others. They most probably did it for their own well being. The US may be a hegemon and North Korea is a threat for others but I don't think China is scared of them. I may be wrong but China is strong enough to not do these actions for other countries and especially not to please them, may it be bitcoin or cyptocurrency related.

Issuing an individual digital coin would give the country their own digital currency and perhaps its value would depend on its own economy, just as how its local fiat currency works. It may provide some convenience for its citizens but in the long run, it would be similar to the fiat currency but only digital. It would be also hard to be used by the low class people of their country given its digital characteristics.

Amongst the other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin has remained to be strong and I think it would do the same as compared to a newly created coin of a country.

The cost of living is pretty high there. I haven't been to New York but from what I heard, the prices their are crazy that even their freakin' coffee costs so much. Perhaps that's what OP wanted to point out.

America used to be land of milk and honey, everyone wanted to migrate their back then with the hopes for a better future. Right now, everyone's working really hard and sometimes forced to have double jobs just fend off for themselves. I personally think that a million dollars could go a long way but if the cost of living is too high, then I guess in a way it would still make you poor.
